SBC Short Water Pump Differences?

I have only rebuilt one pump, but it was for a John Deere auxillary engine for one of our water wells. Can't remember where I bought the kit, but it was in Houston.

They wanted $900 for a new pump and I rebuilt this one for less than a hundred bucks, that was including the two thermostats also and new shaft with bearings. I measured distance from impeller to pump housing and from front pump housing to pressed on pulley. I did this pump about 20 years ago and it's still going strong today. Don't use it much, but I do exercise this engine every month.
